Constructor Details

DSAGenParameterSpec

public DSAGenParameterSpec(int primePLen, int subprimeQLen)

Creates a domain parameter specification for DSA parameter generation using primePLen and subprimeQLen. The value of subprimeQLen is also used as the default length of the domain parameter seed in bits.

Parameters:: primePLen - the desired length of the prime P in bits.; subprimeQLen - the desired length of the sub-prime Q in bits.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if primePLen or subprimeQLen is illegal per the specification of FIPS 186-3.

DSAGenParameterSpec

public DSAGenParameterSpec(int primePLen, int subprimeQLen, int seedLen)

Creates a domain parameter specification for DSA parameter generation using primePLen, subprimeQLen, and seedLen.

Parameters:: primePLen - the desired length of the prime P in bits.; subprimeQLen - the desired length of the sub-prime Q in bits.; seedLen - the desired length of the domain parameter seed in bits, shall be equal to or greater than subprimeQLen.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if primePLenLen, subprimeQLen, or seedLen is illegal per the specification of FIPS 186-3.

Method Details

getPrimePLength

Returns:: the length of the prime P.

getSubprimeQLength

public int getSubprimeQLength()

Returns the desired length of the sub-prime Q of the to-be-generated DSA domain parameters in bits.

Returns:: the length of the sub-prime Q.

getSeedLength

public int getSeedLength()

Returns the desired length of the domain parameter seed in bits.

Returns:: the length of the domain parameter seed.
